I got a budget of $800 for building a new computer (i'll probably be ordering the parts on black friday). This is my first build so i'd like to know what suggestions facepunchers have. I don't to have to fit mouse, keyboard, speakers, OS, DVD/CD drive or monitor into that budget. Also i prefer intel. I forgot to add that i'll be gaming on this (MW2, L4D2, pretty much any RTS you can think of, BIOshock 2 when it comes out, etc.)

[QUOTE=anikilol;18488399]A couple of things. MSI 500 Watts 4890[/QUOTE] Sorry but that's the best AM3 motherboard you can get. 4890 beats the 5770.
[QUOTE=Quantuam VTX;18489142]Sorry but that's the best AM3 motherboard you can get. 4890 beats the 5770.[/QUOTE] 5770 will most likely beat the 4890 once mature drivers are released. Asus > MSI in my opinion, also cheaper, which that difference can be used to go and get higher specs in general
